Could you plese tell me if my 1993 geo prism has shocks or struts in the front and back. My car rides really rough and when you hit even a small bump, it jars you. I have newer tires on it and it still continues to be a rough ride

They have struts on all 4 wheels.

If you can find them, they make "quick struts" for some cars. These include a new spring and are easier to install, but they are around $200 each, comapred to struts at $70 or so (reuse old spring)

Unless you have the proper equipment, DO NOT try to remove the spring yourself, they can kill you.
